SUMMERLAND

ACOUSTIC AMERICANA SONGWRITER

Somewhere between the red dirt of Oklahoma and the sandy cliffs of southern California, Nadia Piotrowsky found her sound.

​Cross-country moves and life-changes put music on the back burner in recent years, but she has now come into her own, giving these songs new life. While her influences range from Mary Chapin Carpenter to The Frames, Sia Furler to Johnny Cash, her sound often draws comparisons to Ingrid Michaelson and Peggy Lee--a little modern, a little old-fashioned, always earnest.

And critics are taking notice. In 2017, her new work, "Lost and Found" was given Honorable Mention by the jury of the Woody Guthrie Festival Songwriting Contest, an honor she does not take lightly. Meanwhile, Nadia credits the songs themselves for her return to the stage. "When I see the audience's reaction to a lyric I've been given, I realize this isn't about me. It's about the songs and the power of words to connect us. I decided I had an obligation to bring these songs into the world." As founder of Monday@Modella songwriter nights in Stillwater, Oklahoma, Nadia has recently had the opportunity to hone her craft while establishing new mainstay in the Oklahoma songwriting community...a place she hopes to hold for years to come.

“Nadia Piotrowsky has a seasoned voice in the manner of the many of the fine female balladeers of the past. But this singer/songwriter offers new and old perspectives on the condition of love in the modern world.​"— Rick Reiley, The Corridor Magazine

“With Nadia's music, there's no separation between thought and intent. Her songs connect with the audience - only because she understands where they are, and what they've been through. We've been fans since we first heard her sing.”— Gabriele, Melissa & Kelli Pozon, RAMEKEGA
